Had to do a road trip on Friday, took my camera to maybe catch a picture of some wildlife but all I got was a pic of this crane that had tipped over on a slippery corner. It was a 200 ton unit, supposedly the largest in the province. Don't know what they will use to get it upright! They were using it to place large precast concrete slabs on a new bridge, so now that will cause a delay.Wouldn't want to be that operator! Oh by the way in the last pic that was a company pickup sitting there with two guys in it and they were'nt smiling.

if thats the largest, they are gonna need the second and third largest toget that pig on its feet. might as well grease the undercarriage while its on its side.
